Sharks Migrate to SC in the Fall

“Fall’s cooler temperatures tend to get swimmers out of the waters off South Carolina’s coast.

That’s probably just as well since that’s when sharks start migrating south and fill the state’s waters.

On top of the winter migration of older sharks to warmer waters, younger sharks this time of year are moving out of the estuaries where they tend to stay during the summer, mostly to avoid getting eaten by bigger sharks, scientists say.
